How to execute a shell script using CMake? The command that should be run is my_script
that should be executed after build. The CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0) project(abc) include_directories("/usr/lib/avr/include") set(CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR /home/user/Desktop) set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -mmcu=atmega8") set(SOURCE_FILES main.c) add_executable(abc ${SOURCE_FILES}) #not working -----> add_custom_command(TARGET abc POST_BUILD COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E my_script )
DISCLAIMER
Yes, there are similar questions in SO here, here, here, etc; however, they don’t give me a clear vision how this can be achieved.

Answer
You are invoking CMake with it’s command-line tool mode which doesn’t execute generic scripts or commands.
Instead do e.g.
add_custom_command(TARGET abc POST_BUILD COMMAND /bin/sh /path/to/my_script )
